1. $$\mathbf { M } = \left( \begin{array} { l l } 4 & - 5
2 & - 7 \end{array} \right)$$
  1. Show that the matrix \(\mathbf { M }\) is non-singular. The transformation \(T\) of the plane is represented by the matrix \(\mathbf { M }\).
    The triangle \(R\) is transformed to the triangle \(S\) by the transformation \(T\).
    Given that the area of \(S\) is 63 square units,
  2. find the area of \(R\).
  3. Show that the line \(y = 2 x\) is invariant under the transformation \(T\).
